Joe Caporoso with initial reaction to the New York Jets 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars

It was not pretty and it was not enjoyable at times but the New York Jets exceeded their 2014 win total in week 9 with a 28-23 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite mounting injuries on both sides of the ball and multiple frustrating breakdowns on defense, the Jets made enough plays to hold off a late Jaguars rally. They now have four short days to get ready for Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills who are getting healthy and are fresh off an impressive win over the Miami Dolphins, who are all but dead in the AFC East.

It was sloppy and embarrassing and such performances going forward would certainly result in the demise of what has been a promising season so far. However, the conspiracy theories and complaints of the ‘same old Jets’, as a number of fans and analysts sighed, seem premature and smack of defeatism. Beyond the obviously glaring issues which the team are clearly aware of (you couldn’t really miss them), the situation the Jets faced this week is less ‘same old Jets’ , but more ‘same old NFL’.
